Jacket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a jacket by artist Paul Poiret. The jacket is long-sleeved and knee-length. It is light beige or off-white in color. A wide belt with four circular metal fasteners wraps around the waist. Above the waist, there is a wide band with three circular metal fasteners on either side of a central panel. The jacket features a fold-over collar and buttoned cuffs. A right-leaning fold in the fabric runs down the center. Small bullet-like holes are visible throughout. The jacket appears to be made of a thick fabric, possibly cotton or canvas. The background is a plain gray color.
